Is crypto-powered social network a trend?

[jets567]

I am curious to know if anyone of you is willing to switch from the daily social network app like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to crypto-powered social network. And if you could, do share your reasons for doing so.

I will not completely switch to a crypto-powered social network if most of my friends and family are still using the currenct social media platform though I'm planning to try those crypto-powered platform because they offer good crypto rewards to their users just by using the platform.

Blockchain-based social media platform creation is an excellent idea. I think it fits the spirit of Blockchain.

Although Steemit was the first pioneer, he faced some problems and gradually began to lose his old importance.

In recent months, Steemit has launched a new campaign called #Newsteem, for resurrection, but I have questions about how well this campaign has gone.

Frankly, I would like people to abandon centralized social media applications like Facebook and Instagram because these companies have been repeatedly proven to steal user data, which is not pleasant.

There are too many blockchain-based social media apps around, but I think none of them sounded like Voice.com. I am looking forward to this application designed by the EOS team, which is still in the project phase.

Steemit is a good project. I think it's a good idea to "resurrect" it. I kind of think that whole thing should be started afresh especially now that market is abit stable.
Some things need to change to make Steemit more appealing to more people like facebook. It should be easy to use too. There should be great ways to promote it to the grassroots with little budget considering it's not really a profit driven thing.

because crypto social networks don't use it that much, and I think only a few people know it especially crypto users, while other people still use commercial social networks that they usually use

It's a gradual process. The jump might not happen today but in the coming years when many people would have signed up on these platforms, it will be easier to witch from the current social media apps.

Steemit is definitely the most popular in the crypto space and till date no other has succeeded in beating it. However, talking about trends in the crypto space, it is something that happens often and most times the projects that starts the trend are the legit ones because the idea in the onset is unique but then, others that comes after, a good number of them are just there to follow the hype and scam; this case scenario can be likened to that of social network trends. Now currently, it is Defi projects although the hype is diminishing some are still coming up, out of which few are genuine as well.
Furthermore, I think it will be difficult for people to stop using Facebook, Twitter etc for a crypto based social network, this is because those platforms has stood the test of time and hence having massive users, not only that, they keep improving to sustain their growth. However, it can still be possible if the crypto based social network will offer exceptional services.

I agree that successful social media in the cryptocurrency space is steemit. Even though there are many projects working on social media projects, I think people will still use Facebook or existing social media platforms because not everyone knows about cryptocurrency projects.

Social media has become everyone's need, steemit is the most popular. actually steemit hard fork (hive) is no less interesting. I use it to share my opinion. For replace the position of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I thought nothing happen

[SlimShadyMmp]

Hmmh what happenede to steemit I think Most people now have forgotten where their private keys are because it has been so long since I even see their coin on the chart (CMC) I think biggest media for crypto now is twitter and telegram personally.. And maybe discord for rare ones

Other than Steemit no social networking platform gained the importance. Steemit is something different, and gives everything ina precise manner. As Steemit is the very first of its kind more people are used to it. Further the reward system of Steemit is quite interesting and helps in acquiring knowledge. I haven't used to other platforms thats been mentioned in the OP. There might be more effective platforms, but those haven't reached the community. This is where most of the success projects failand go out of usage.

It's true that the most successful crypto powered social media is Steemit, and I'm still actively using it until now.
But I don't agree that crypto powered social media is a trend these days, Because when compared to daily social
networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, there is still a far shortage of active users. Myself more comfortable
using Twitter than Steemit.

Crypto powered social networks weren't that popular. Right now Steemit is the only social networking source that is perfectly functioning and gives people good recognition for the articles and posts shared by the users. Brave browser too have begun to give users with some BAT, maybe more social networking sites will emerge powered by cryptocurrency.

I guess, the popularity time has not yet come. Wait for a couple of years, where more people will understand that cryptocurrencies will always exist, and sooner or later, but everybody will use it. Then, these social nets will be taken better than now.
